渡漢江 李頻

渡漢江     李頻 (818 – 876)

嶺外音書絕，經冬復立春。

近鄉情更怯，不敢問來人。

Crossing the Han River       Li Pin (818 – 876)

Living beyond the south ranges from my home I receive no epistles,

It’s now well past winter and spring again approaches,

Having crossed the Han River my homeland is close,

But the closer I get the yellower my heart grows,

I even dare not ask people things of my household.
